Millennium Hotel Doha

... some of these animals. So I duly exclaimed over each room and how lovely everything was and we all laughed over the "hitchhoge" spelling and shivered over the anaconda skin. <br> After leaving the visitor center he stated they had many live animals to see as well and we started down to see them. He retrieved the first man we had seen who took us to a large locked gate and opened it to get into the animal pens ...

... This mall was like walking into Bloomingdale's. <br> It wasn't very big but I wandered through it and found some shoe inserts which I dearly need. Then into the food store to stock up on some snacks and water in case I never find a nice restaurant close to my hotel. There was a Dunkin Donuts and a KFC there as well but I just couldn't bring myself to enter either place. Going back out to the front ...

One would presume that, as Director of Finance, I would have signing authority over our bank accounts. This would be a fair and correct presumption but that authority is not automatic with the title of course. The paperwork to arrange this is not at all complex and, in fact, involves only a letter of request. While Laurel (the outgoing Director of Finance) was here we visited the bank with just such a letter signed by herself and Sheila (the Dean and CEO of ...

... drove me and while we waited for Mr. Mohammed a group of 50 or so workers came out of one building and headed into the building I knew I was going into. Then before Mr. M arrived, another 50 workers shuffled from the mystery building to the one where I was to be x-rayed. This time I will feel like a but will nevertheless be glad to have assistance lest I while the whole day away in the wrong line or something silly like ...

It's absolutely worth the extra miles to Frankfurt to experience the comfort of Qatar Airways: it certainly beats KLM's meatballs hands down. I hardly noticed time and countries flying by before it was time to land in Doha. Aaah the warmth as the cabin door was opened, delicious reminder of getting closer and closer to the warm tropics. The experience ...

... an ice-skating rink, but this time inside a Colosseum. Walk next door to Sports City. 2 years after the Asian Games and the place STILL isn't finished. There are so many nearly-finished places in this city it is ridiculous. Try to go swimming at the Hammad Aquatic Centre but it's closed to non-Muslim's at the time. Taxi to Landmark shopping centre, watch Son of Rambow at the cinemas. Try to catch a ...

... the only smell I have associated with sand is that of salty air. However sitting in the Doha airport this was something that struck me, "sand has a smell", it is neither pleasant or unpleasant but smells of...sand. Doha is flat. I have never lived or been to a truly flat place, but Doha is flat. And sparse. And sandy, how do they maintain aircraft that are bombared with sand, or maintain tarmac at risk of sand storms? The people here are great and the service ...

... Morning, so it was not unexpected. The driver told me the history behind the name of this area. Before this area became a shopping place for the people from the indian subcontinent, There was only one building here, which was a showroom of "National Panasonic" of Japan. So they have named the whole area as National. All the streets in Doha has separate names, but unfortunately nobody uses those. Even the staff of the office ...
